PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of plasma-based conjunctivoplasty as a new surgical approach for conjunctivochalasis. METHODS: This prospective, noncomparative, interventional study included research on 42 eyes of 33 patients who underwent plasma therapy because of conjunctivochalasis between February 2020 and December 2021. Maintaining a 2-mm distance from the limbus, at least 3 lines (approximately 2 mm deep) of plasma therapy were applied to the conjunctiva from the temporal quadrant to the nasal quadrant...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the safe use of repeated intracameral amphotericin B for anterior chamber reactivations after therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty for Fusarium solani keratitis. METHODS: A 49-year-old woman monthly soft contact lens wearer with a history of overuse and swimming in her lenses presented with a red painful left eye. Her vision was 0.5 logMAR and there was a poorly demarcated corneal infiltrate. Although corneal scrapes and a corneal biopsy were negative, confocal microscopy showed fungal hyphae...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to report a case of fungal keratitis with subsequent corneal perforation after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) treatment performed for keratoconus. CASE REPORT: A 20-year-old woman presented with redness and discharge in the left eye. She had a history of bilateral CXL procedure performed for keratoconus elsewhere 4 days earlier. The visual acuity was hand motion in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed extended corneal melting with surrounding infiltrates...

PURPOSE: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a rare group of lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the accumulation of incompletely degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in multiple organ systems, including the eye. Visual loss occurs in MPS predominantly due to corneal clouding. Despite the success of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in improving many systemic manifestations of MPS, less is known about their effect on corneal clouding...

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to examine subjective responses to cyclosporine A (CsA) 0.05% versus lifitegrast 5% in individuals with dry eye disease. METHODS: This study was a retrospective review of individuals with clinically diagnosed dry eye disease treated with both CsA 0.05% and lifitegrast 5% over the course of their disease. Information collected included demographics, comorbidities, and dry eye disease signs. Treatment preferences were noted as mild or strong for a particular medication, no preference, or unable to tolerate either medication...
